   I hit a pothole few weeks ago which was quite big, bent the wishbone abit and I replaced the wishbone. So I took the car out for a drive and got to the top of the road and had a bad juddering, turned around got by my drive and the driveshaft poped of from the inner joint.
   So I changed the shaft with a 2nd hand one frm a car with 50k on, done about 100miles on that and had juddering again, pulled out a petrol station and same thing happened again, same inner joint on the n/s shaft come out.
   Soooo now I have another driveshaft, and once again, done about 100miles so far and have a juddering when I accelerate.
   So far it hasn't poped out but I am preparing for thr worst.
   
   What can this problem be as I shit myself driving the car knowing the shaft is gona come off
   
   Any one shed any light on this?

   The hub carrier could be bent, or damaged suspension.

   is the wheel bearing ok and you definately got the right driveshaft?
